26 | Ray Clements Founder, Finding the Solution CIC Ray Clements is the founder of Finding the Solution. After losing his sight in late 2022 and feeling as though life had been “put on pause,” he discovered Goalball, which helped him rebuild his confidence, agency and joy. He later represented Great Britain in blind baseball, becoming the only British visually impaired player to hit a home run in national competition and earning a bronze medal at the World Championships. Through these experiences, Clements has seen how inclusive sport and storytelling can transform lives and is committed to sharing that impact with others. His mission focuses on empowering underserved communities through advocacy, education and inclusive initiatives that promote social justice and personal transformation. Finding the Solution is a Community Interest Company dedicated to public benefit. It delivers inclusive sports programmes and a podcast series featuring individuals who are “finding the solution” in their own lives, offering inspiration, insight and visibility.
